IMHO, you need to have either a very strong marriage or a very weak marriage to make it work on a "full-time" basis.

A very weak marriage because then you wouldn't care enough for those doubts, threats, and misunderstandings to tear you apart.
It's the average marriage in between those extremes that would have the most difficult time. I would say if you have strong communication skills between you, you argue on a regular basis (which psychology shows is the healthiest marriage because it means you ARE communicating with each other and not avoiding tension and problems), and you are not joined at the hip (or in other words, overly dependent upon the other to manage your day to day life), then you could most likely handle it on a part-time basis - maybe a month at a remote park this winter, then come home, then go back out. i would keep your first year or two of "outings" to either easy locations for her to visit or for a shorter duration in one spot with a couple weeks inbetween for realigning your relationship.
